Freewheeling to the glaciers in
NEW ZEALAND BY: ANDREW MARSHALL
“It’s magnificent cycling country,” declared 65-year-old Andy Bremner when I met him inside the Adventure Cycles shop in Auckland. Tanned, fit and sporting a milewide grin, Andy was completing his third season pedaling New Zealand and had so far clocked up 3000 km. "There’s nothing I like better than to pack up each morning, load the panniers on the racks, look over the handlebars and head off down that open road,” he said. With its magnificent volcanic landscapes, gushing geysers and rugged coastlines backed by prehistoric rainforest, there can be no better way to experience this cool green land, and certainly no better speed, than by bicycle.
